Abstract excerpt
Folded gastrulation (Fog), a secreted ligand for a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), is a key regulator of cell shape changes during epithelial morphogenesis. During Drosophila embryogenesis, fog is expressed in multiple invaginating tissues, including the mesoderm, salivary gland, and trachea. In the mesoderm and salivary gland, Fog signaling coordinates apical constriction through Rho kinase (Rok)-mediated...
